Viking Coca-Cola Bottling Company is directing a portion of its sales of Powerade and Powerade Zero back to participating area high schools through a program called Powerade 4 Schools. This year, it donated $1,443.

Participating area high schools include Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Brandon High School and Minnewaska High School in Glenwood.

Money will be collected on all Powerade and Powerade Zero products sold throughout the Viking Coca-Cola Bottling Co. territory and then divided to high schools based on a percentage of purchased beverages.

The program’s goal is to encourage active lifestyles through the support of school athletic programs, within the Viking Coca-Cola Bottling Co. franchise territory.
